Im currently running the RSK rom 7.2 with stock hboot and im wondering is there any point to changing to cmr2? I mean apart from changes to the memory layout what sort or performance changes will i see?
The more internal memory = more space for dalvik on internal storage = overall better performance.
regarding flashing kernels etc is radios the only thing that cant be flashed from recovery when changing to cmr2?
Also would i be able to use titanium to restore apps+data even though the app backups were made using stock?
You can't flash radios with .zip method in cm7-r2 due to low cache partition. You can do it with other method from PC.
Yes, I think that you can restore, but the app will see different available space.

Depends what ROM though, sometimes if the ROM throws too much stuff in the sd-ext partition you can get quite bad performance in comparison to using the Data hboot. Just sayin'.
Cache partition size matters for ICS roms?
I'm on Data++ and I have about 100 MB free space for apps on /data (without sd-ext).
Would switching to Bravo Sense table (with 35 MB plus cache partition size) improve the performance on ICS based roms (like BCM or Sandvold's) or these roms do not use that partition anyway?
I've found that a 2Gb ext partition works well for me (using RSK rom). I'm using the Data++ Hboot.

I use cm7 r2 running Sandvolds ICS with dalvik & apps to ext4, runs very smooth and fast. Class 4 16GB SD, 1GB ext4.

I love link2sd and would like to take it with me after I upgraded my Desire from CM7.2 to a CM10mod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441
But even after erasing the A2SD Scripts, I get a message telling me ext3 is not orking with this rom, giving Fat32 a try is recommended.

You think it's worth the try to format the 2nd partition in FAT32? Or do you have another clue what could be the matter?
It says that sd-ext2 isn't working, because you probably don't have a second ext partition, and you won't need it.
Try going through settings and stop the app from searching for a second ext partition.
Hey - thx for your reply!
I was running link2SD ith CM7.2 before. So my SD should be still parted into a main partition for all my mess and a 2nd ext3 partition for link2SD to store the apps.
That's why I wonder why link2sd it is not finding it...

So, you have a fat32 main partition with all your stuff, and an ext partition for apps. Link2sd is looking for a second ext partition, as if you had 3 partitions on your sd-card. As yoy don't have a third partition, it gives that error.
Ummm - a second as if there were 3? That's confusing me. Why can't it find the ext as before?
And how could I point it towards that one?
anyone left who'sgot an idea?
Is the ext3 not found?
Is an ext3 not working with this ROM?
thx!
Ext3 work in this rom, in the developer thread an user use it.
First ics based rom i installed give me some trouble due to wrong partition alignment, previous working on gb. Can you check partition in your recovery?

I'm having an issue with my phone showing that I only have 1 gig left on my internal SD, but when I look at the internal SD when I plug in my computer it only has 6.6 gigs on it. I have no idea what's causing so much space being taken up. I was down to 877 megs and cleared the cache of all my apps which brought me up to 1.07 gigs free, but that still doesn't compute. 12 gigs - 6.6 = 1.07? I'm using the ParanoidKANGdroid ROM with the second to last update but I was having this issue before when I came from AOKP and wasn't able to make a backup.
If anyone has any ideas please reply. Thanks in advance!

I had this happen back when I had an infuse 4g, on my phone it was all the backups I had made. Everytime I flashed a new rom I would make a backup. I had 6 or 7 old backups and once deleted my storage space was back. I can't say for sure this is your problem, but use a file explorer(I use root file explorer) and look at your backup folder.
Thanks that worked like a charm!

Hi all,
Hi All, I bought the US Version 64 GB/4GB phone. How do you test/confirm the amount of ROM and RAM on your zf2? In Titanium Backup I see the following and wondering if this is a cause for concern. It shows ROM at 2.34 GB is this what others are seeing?
see screenshot below:

So what you are looking at is the system rom partition (closed system that can be accessed by root), your internal storage and your external storage. There is no mention of RAM there...
You need to check with some other app to find out your RAM...
ROM is your system partition, which is were you "system.img" goes, ram is around 3.7GB which is completly normal since the gpu takes ram and system runtime, and after that "user available ram" which is 1.4GB or so depends on how many apps your running etc...dont be concerned those numbers are completly normal.

Any suggestions on an app that does that? And whats the point of having 4 GB of ROM if it's partitioned and the OS can't even access it all?

Thats a safety measure in case the manufacture needs more space in a future OTA update, and you "can" access it with root, like i said stop worrying about rom partition size, sit back and enjoy your new phone.

With a 64GB Internal Storage, it wont make much difference
As for the app, look on the play store for a "Hardware Checker"
Hi guys! I'm using zen2 - 551ML 2.3Ghz/32GB rom/4Gb ram.
Currently im running 2.19.40.22 stock firmware, my phone is rooted, i also flashed Project T v46 kernel.
I used Titanium to freeze all these system apps that i dont use, i did not uninstall any system app by far.
Then i checked Titanium to see ROM storage, and im quite shocking that the ROM storage (2,34Gb) is only has 30,8Mb free :crying:
I checked the other zen 2, same model, use by my friend, also rooted and i found that his phone has over 500+Mb free storage from the ROM storage (2,34Gb the same as mine).
Here is the picture of my phone's ROM storage >>> http://imgur.com/8s3lEd9

Since many system apps has updated to new version over playstore, i did not integrate them to system rom, i did not change any normal app to system app, but the ROM storage still get full ?
Please help me free some space on ROM storage, so i can push some useful app to system app and do a good back up.

This is my phone. I haven't had any problems with ROM storage:
Just curious, but what method did you use to apply your OTA?

Full wipe then flash full rom via TWRP. another method is adb sideload but i have never tried it.
First of all:
I bought my Xiaomi remdmi 1s several years ago.
Probably because the newest ROM and apps are getting bigger and bigger the redmi 1S gets slower and slower.
Just recently I changed a few elements on my redmi 1S and after one week of trial and error I know I have found one of the best solutions in performance improvement.:angel:
These are the steps to follow:
1) Just to be sure:
Make a full nandroid backup using TWRP and store the backup on the external SD card.
Make a complete backup using titanium backup and store the backup on the external SD card
2) Increase your system partition from 1Gb to 1,2 Gb.
Here is how to do that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-1s/general/tut-repartition-redmi-1s-to-increase-t3506904
When you are finished; Check on the home screen of titanium backup if your system partition is increased. Here is a printscreen of mine:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3) Change all your partition formats from Ext4 to FTFS except for the system partition. The system partition stays ext4 otherwise the system won't boot up anymore. FTFS is much faster than Ext4
Here you can read how you can do that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-formatting-ext4-to-f2fs-losing-t3352116. I used the TWRP nandroid backup and restore instead of the mentioned ADB variant.
When you are finished; Check on the home screen of titanium backup if your system partition is still increased. If not, do the partition increase of bullit 2 again.
When you are finished; Check with the app "diskinfo" if your format has been changed to F2FS(free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kuder.diskinfo&hl=nl)
4) Create virtual memory of 800 Mb using "Kernel Adiutor" (If you use a Nougat ROM 1200Mb performs better):
If Kernel Adiutor is already installed on your ROM use it, otherwise download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=nl
After the virtual memory is expanded to 800 Mb. Reboot your redmi and check your virtual memory with "Diskinfo"
5) Use the app greenify. You get more working memory space.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-greenify4magisk-t3606277
6) Use the app L Speed. This app boosts virtal RAM (zRAM) en tweaks processor and memory.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/l-speed/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138
7) All done !! :good:
Your Xiaomi redmi 1S should be working like you just bought it several years ago. The speed performance is enormous.
Back when I tried F2FS,the ROM I flashed didn't boot up .Which ROM did you use?
Also, how does increasing system partition affect the performance ?
tried on miui 9 beta
after exiting KA it goes back to default 510 mb
I don't think the ROM is relevant. The device should be rooted that's the main thing. I use RR ROM Marshmallow.
By increasing system ROM, the Swap partition can be made on internal system memory. It really makes a difference in performance.
Ps
If your system space goes back to the original space, look at the right settings in recovery.
Good luck!
